3417 R St NW

Stunning Georgetown Custom Contemporary totaling 3700 SF, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths. A top-to-bottom, smart renovation, along with a three-level addition, gives this historic, Charleston-style, semi-detached row house the best of both worlds: it retains the charm of the original 1896 architecture while harmoniously integrating updates to present modern living at its finest. Renovations were designed by Studio MB and this home was featured in Home and Design Magazine. In contrast to the traditional facade, the interiors are a stunning blend of clean lines and contemporary finishes. White-painted walls, high ceilings, brick walls and wide-plank, pale oak floors provide the perfect backdrop for a bright, open-concept main level with multiple living spaces and outdoor views in almost every direction. A sleek chef's kitchen sits center stage with concealed storage, designer lighting and a double-waterfall island. Through the sunken family room, accordion-style French doors lead to the back terrace and fully fenced yard, connecting to the generous side yard, creating an expansive entertaining space. Open risers and a steel-framed staircase, sunlit from skylights above, lead to the upper levels where a pair of charming bedrooms with a hall bathroom share the third level, and the owner's suite and library suite with floor to ceiling windows reside on the second. The master bedroom enjoys a private porch, and an en-suite bathroom that looks straight out of a spa. A finished one-bedroom apartment on the lower level with a separate entrance and its own washer and dryer, separately metered. A coveted parking spot sits contiguous to the backyard.
